Hi, I'm Vern Piffile. Welcome to my website about workers compensation cases. When I worked in a manufacturing plant, I saw many of my coworkers end up injured from unsafe practices or policies. I always thought my focus on safety would keep me from falling injured on the job. Unfortunately, I fell from some unstable scaffolding and severely injured my leg. I spent a long time in the hospital and rehab center trying to recover from my injuries. During that time, my employer fought to avoid paying workers compensation for the accident.
